Inconsistency.

The American is remarkably incon-
sistent when it condemns Gov. Taylor
for favoring federal aid to education
and for appointing Blair bill man as
superintendent of public instruction,
while at the same time it is holding
up and praising President Cleveland
as a model democrat. The American
seems to forget that Mr.. Cleveland, in
making some of his important APP
pointments selected men who were
conspicuous in their advocacy of fed
eral aid to education. Mr.. Cleveland
in naming secretary of the interior
called into his cabinet Mr.. Lamar, who
advocated federal aid. In appointing
an Encouragement he called INTO his
cabinet, Mr.. Garland, who made one
of the ablest and most exhaustive ar
guments in favor Of federal aid
When he appointed Judge for one Of
the most important federal judicial
circuits he named Senator Jackson
who earnestly advocated the Blair bill
Yet it condemns governor who APP
points man who favors federal aid
The truth is, that the American is no
in harmony with the national democ
racy when it condemns what the ma
tional democracy does not condemn
but which, on the other hand, is APP
proved and advocated by many of thu
ablest leaders and most prominen
statesmen and jurists in the democrat
ic party.-Banner.

GOV. Taylor.

The effort to class Bob Taylor with
republicans by quoting extracts from
republicans papers speaking well Of
his liberal policy is bungling piece
OF ingenuity and will not deceive any
one, not even the most ignorant mass
es, for whom it was intended.
The people will look at his record
and the fidelity with which he stuck
to the party and held to its principles
under most trying and discouraging
circumstances. He was reared by a
republican father, a man OF ability and
prominent in the politics of the state
surrounded by a republican family,
with an older brother who is a leader
in the councils OF that party. He
lives in county overwhelmingly re-
publican and section OF the state
where there are but few democrats,
and yet, with all these powerful fami-
ly and social influences, he has never
for one day, so far as the public know,
wavered in his adherence to democrat
ic principles,
If Bob Taylor's democracy is not
carved out of independent thought and
a firm and unalterable conviction,
then we know of no man who is dem
ocrat from principle. Since he be-
came of age he has fought the battles
of democracy against largely more
odds than any other man in the state
and has never failed to respond to the
voice of democracy.
His course since he has assumed the
duties of governor explains his unfal
tering adhesion to democracy unde
such influential circumstances. He
is man Of stamina, who thinks 70
himself, and with a backbone tina
stiffens with experience, This is hi
whole political crime to-day and
what has called down upon his hea,
curses from certain quarter.
Let the people look to the record c
those who would pull him down, an
' see whether they have been as staunc
J, emocrats-withou difficulties t
: combat-and whether they have bee
V as consistent in their adhesion to tn
S party's principles.
h The war of such democrats on Bo
u Taylor makes him the stronger wit
n the people.-NashviUe Union.

Carlisle ar FairchiIGl.

The President is known to be giving
very serious consideration to the idea
of taking the Secretary of the Treasu-
ry from the West.
Wild it cannot be said to be decid-
ed that he will do this, it is said that it
is certain that Speaker Carlisle has
been consulted on the subject by n
gentleman known to be speaker on be-
half of the President Naturally Mr.,
Cleveland does not desire to go so far
as to make an actual offer of the place
unless he is first sure that there are no
difficulties in the way of its acceptance
The matter is now understood by Mr.
Callisle's friends to be in u position
where if Western man is to be Sc.
lected he will be the man and will ac'
cept.
The understanding among those
gentlemen who have been priyy tC
to this matter is that if the offer goes
to an Eastern man the choice will fall
on Mr.. Fairchild.

There is little present danger OF an
extra session of Congress but it is not
at all improbable thatan extra session
Of the Senate may be called immedi-
ately after the present Congress ex-
pires, the object being to consider
treaties and appointments. This
would relieve the President of the OBJ
staoles to the appointment of members
OF the Forty-ninth Congress to the In
ter-State Commerce Commission, and
would also enable him to wait a little
longer in selecting a successor to Sec
rotary Manning. There are, also,
treaties OF Importance pending, nota-
bly, the new Extradition treaty with
Great Britain. 1t would also give an
opportunity to the Governors OF New
Jersey and West Virginia to appoint
Senators pending the dead-locks in
their State.

Ii the State of Tennessee wants fed
eral aid for its schools above all other
things she must become Republican
in her politics. 1t is upon this line
that Democracy is plainly demarked
from Republicanism. -Knorri1e TrTb-
Une.
Is that so? We didn't know it be-
fore. We had an idea that President
Cleveland was a sort Of a Democrat
and he had taken Democratic advis-
ers into his cabinet, But it seems that
we have beensmistaken and that his
legal adviser, Attorney General Gar
land, is Republican because he voted
for Federal Aid to education And
Secretary Lamar, of the Interior, un-
der whom the senior editor of the
Tribune now holds fat office, is
''plainly demarked" Republican for
the same reason. The wonder is that
the Tribune mans exalted idea OF
Democracy does not compel him to
throw up his position under cabinet
officer who is accorded to its theory,
on the Republican side of the line
that is so plainly demarked.
Then again we thought Senators
Zeb Vance, Wade Hampton, Dan
VOORHEES,, Jno w. Daniel, Jno. K.
Kenna, Ransom, Pugh, George and
nearly all the ther Southern Senators
were Democrats, but alas, they have
read themselves out of the party by
iavoring and voting for National aid
to common schools. We hope the
Tribune will give us the names of a
few men, besides it's editors, who are
Democrats.

choose to leave him because he advo-

The decision Of the supreme court,
affirming the chancellor's decision in
the druggists liquor tax case, will en-
tail very great hardship upon the
druggists of the state, and, if no relief
is given, will compel many of the
smaller drug houses to suspend. A
bill has been introduced in the legis-
lature for the relief of those who will
suffer from this decision, and this bill
is earnestly advocated by Representa-
tive Merritt, who, as chancellor, rem
dered the decision in the lower court.
The decicion was in accordance with a
law which had been practically mop
erative, and its affirmation by the SUI
preme court was expected. There are,
however, many equities in the case
which were barren by the statute, and
as the house committee has reported
unanimously in favor OF the relief
bill there are good reasons for be-
lieving that the Legislature will ia
vorably consider the measure,-Ban-

The Republican majority in the

even with a Democratic Senator from
New Jersey in place of General Sew

that West Virginia will choose a DEM

The Knoxville Tribune is the most
unscrupulously unfair paper in the
State Itpersists in saying that Bob
Taylor now comedies that ALI was
right about the Blair bill and that he
was wrong. The Tribune knows, if it
knows anything, that Gov. Taylor ex-
pressly stated in his message, that the
appropriation OF the surplus, without
the conditions OF Federal supervision"
for educational purposes would be a
blessing. That was an express declar-
alton against certain features of the
Blair bill, yet this so-called Democrat
ic paper continues its misrepresenta-
tions of the Governor by repeating
that he has changed front and now fa-
vors the Blair bill But people up
this way put little confidence in any
thing the Tribune says.
